My invention relates to improvements in a meshed headpiece.

The object of my invention is to provide a headpiece coarsely woven ormeshed, through which a free circulation of air to and through the hairmay be had after the hair has been dressed, the headpiece having tiesarranged as cords and being so positioned that engagement thereof to theheadpiece to will be along the extreme marginal portion of the crownbody of the headpiece, by which means the binding ,feature of the cordswill be positioned in close proximity to the peripheral edge of thecrown, but arranged to avoid. binding contact with the hair, except someportion that may be allowed to protrude for a specific purpose; theheadpiece, being so arranged, will fit loosely over the hair, allowingit to dry as without molesting the form or curl mechanically arranged;and the headpiece, being in mesh, will not materially retard the evaoration of such moisture employed in the air treatment.

Stated in another way the invention may be said to have for its mainobject the ro duction of a head gear of generally mp and elastic fabric,including a head pocket portion adapted to fit snugly, over the head thecrown of the. as-

sembled head dress an a generally elongated streamer portion extendingfrom an end of the'head ocket portion to form the rim of the assem ledhead dress; the shape of the head dress, whenmounted u on thehead oi thewearer, bein maintaine by the contour of the head of t e wearer. 1

A further obj ect of my-invention is to provide a meshed headpiece madeof a single 40 piece of material, the material bein loosely woven or inmesh, as stated, and sing of such fabrication, the legor tie members maybe folded to a cord-like member, or may be twisted to reduce their sizessectionall to avoid excess lapping upon' the crown o the structure;again, the leg or tie members may be applied flat and loosely about themarginal portion of the crown, but the latter way is not thought to givethe best result.

A still further object of my invention is to provide a headpiece madefrom meshed material similar to 'bobbinet, the structure being arrangedfrom a single piece of netting, rectangu ar in shape, with a centralportion longitudinally removed, as a matter of economy and simplicity informing the crown and ties.

Theseand other objects will hereinafter be more fully explained,reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of thiss ecification, wherein like characters will app y to like partsthroughout the dif-. ferent views.

' 'Referring to the drawings:

As a means to protect the hair when dressed by marcelling or otherwise,I have arranged a meshed headpiece, being made of a single rectangularpiece of fabric as illustrated in Fig. 1, having a crown or head pocketportion A and a "pair of generally elongated streamer or tie portions18.. The said tie per tions areredu'ced in width by removing a por-"tion of the material therebetween, as at O, the said removed portionterminating at the button-like structure F is formed. The said rosetteor button-like structure will engage between the brow and the hair whenthe headpiece is properly placed, it being understood that the same isdrawn downward toward the brow, and likewise, the marginal edge of thecrown member, as shown at G in Fig. 5, and onwhich the ties B willengage when looped, as shown in Fig. 5.

To apply the meshed headpiece, the crown portion is placed on the head,so that the peripheral ed thereof will extend below the air line at t ebrow, sides and back of the head; the ties are then crossed on the backand placed around to en agement paralleling the peripheral edge of thecrown as nearly as possible to avoid pressing the hair snugly at anypoint except where it is desired that a portion of the hair may extendoutward,

or example, as shown in Fig. 5. The free end portions of the ties arethen interlapped and drawn snugly as securing means for the crown in itsposition, where it remains until the moisture from the hair hasevaporated,

allowing it to remain in its dressed osition without interruption. Thewave of t e hair, when thus protected, will remain more perfectly thanif it is free and subject to undue disarrangement. Furthermore, the saidmeshed headpiece will be a protection during hours of slumber, and maybe employed for other purposes, and at all times functioningv as a looseenclosure for the hair, but firml supported by reason of the tiemembers, whic are or may be reduced toa cord-like structure to engagethe peripheral edge of the headpiece, bmding the peripheral portionfirmly to the head in close proximity to the marginal line of the hair.

Such modifications may be employed as lie within the sco of the appendedclaims.

Having fu y described my invention, what I claim as new and desire tosecure by Letters Patent is:

1. A head gear formed of-generally'limp and elastic fabric, including ahead-pocket portion adapted to fit snugly over the head of the wearer toform the crown of the assembled head dress and a generally elongatedstreamer portion at least approximately twice as long'as the headzpocketportion and extending from an en ket rtion to form t e Ilm o the assemblhead ess; the shape of the, head dress, when mounted upon the head ofthe wearer, bein maintaine by the contour of the head 0 the wearer.

thereof, adapted to sur-' round the lower eripher of the head- 2. A headgear comprising a generally elongated body formed of transverse yelastic fabric, including a head-pocket portion and a streamerportion atleast approximately twice as long as the head-pocket portion, saidheadpocket portion bein adapted to form the crown of the assemb ed headdress and said streamer portion bein ada ted to surround the lower perihery of said cad-pocket portion to form t e mm of the assembled headdress.

3. A head gear formed of generally limp and'elastic fabric, includin ahead-pocket portion adapted to fit snug y over the head of the wearer toform the crown of the assembled head dress and a pair of generallyproximately twice as long as the head-pocket 'portion and extending froman end thereof adapted to surround the lower periphery of the headketportion to form the rim of the'assem led head dress; the shape of thehead dress, when mounted u on the head of the wearer, being maintaine bythe contour of the head of the wearer.

4. A head gear comprising a generally 'elon ated bod formed oftransversely elastic fabric, includlng a head-pocket portion and a pairof streamer portions at least approximately twice as lon as thehead-pocket portion, said head-poo et portion being adapted to form thecrown of the assembled head dress and said streamer portions beinadapted to" elongated streamer portions at least ap-' of the head dress,when mounted .u on t 'e head of the wearer, bein maintaine by thecontour of the head of t e wearer.

6. A head covering formed from a single piece of bobbinet and comprisinga main ody portion shaped to Froduce a head pocketadapted, b reason 0its elasticity, to conform to the s ape of the head of the wearer, and apair of elongated tie members extending from the lower portion of saidmain body and adaplted to surround the margin of said head oc et portionto form the rim of the assemb ed covering,

7 A turban o the character described produced from a single piece ofgenerally elastic meshed fabric and comprising a main body portionshaped to produce a head pocket adapted, by the elasticity of thematerial, to

conform to thesha of the head of the wearer, the material be ow suchhead pocket having two relatively lon and narrow streamer or tie-likeportions apted, when the head. pocket portion is positioned upon thehead of the wearer, to be wrapped around the marinal portion of saidheadpocket in opposite irections and to be engaged with each other and saidhead pocket to secure the turban in ace. In testimony whereof I aflix mysignature.
